The West Haven shore was quite lively
again yesterday. The fine weather brought
many family parties from the city to the
shore, either to recreate in general at the
places of public note or to share in the di-
versions of cottagers.
The Judd family reunion also was held
there yesterday. This is the branch de-
scended from Thomas Judd of Waterbury,
and later of Southington, who died in 1852.
About one hundred of his descendants, in
Guiding members of the young and rising
generation, were present. The dinner was
served in the pavilion and at the business
meeting the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Stephen
Judd of Southington; vice president, A. E.
Smith of Cheshire; secretary, @. S. Haviland,
editor of the Southington Phoenix; assistant
secretary, Orrin L. Judd of Southington
executive committee, Seymour NJ. Judd, of
New Haven, chairman; George L. Judd of
Wallingford, E. NJ. Judd of Wallingford and
Mrs. A. E. Mitchell of Cheshire, formerly re-
siding in California.

ington, Cheshire, Wallingford, Waterbury,
Watertown, New Haven, East Haven, West

exciting great interest, trunk which from
authentic information was brought over from
England by the veritable Thomas Judd,
who came to this country from En-
gland in 1885. ALI reported having much
enjoyed the reunion. The members spent
several hours in inspecting the sights and
ments at the Rock. Many of the young folks
were exhilarated and delighted with journey
ing on Hager's merry go round, and never
sesned satiated with riding or watching the
merry riders. There was joyous time
among some of the party who tried the bath
ing earlier in the day. few essayed to
catch the shiny bluefsh, but it was not
lucky day for the bluefsh. To many the
sight of the broad sunlit waters OF Long
Island Sound and the passing ships, steam
tugs, was recreation and rare pleasure.
The family enjoyed themselves so well that
they will endeavor to reunite again next
year. Another reunion of the Judd family
composed of members living further to the
northward was held at High Rock Grove.
